PARrs1ENT: Pursuant to precedent in
this State and in conformity TO custom
now will established in many of the
States of the Union, / do hereby de-.
signate and appoint Saturday, the 3oth
day Of April, 1887, as Arbor day, and
commend to the people Of the State its
general observance by planting on that
DAY Of trees, vines and shrubs along the
highways and on public and private
grounds. In this State especially, with
its large areas OF prairies, the custom
may be rendered Of great advantage.
Farms and other grounds may thus be
not only beautified but greatly enhanced
in value, and highways, now cheerless
and forbidding, be made attractive and
inviting. The practical results Of faithful
observance of this custom must manifest
themselves in few years in an increas-
cd supply Of timber in:lhe State, and as
a natural consequence an increased
rainfall, besides enhancing materially
the value of land. Nothing SO beauties

them. I therefore earnestly commend
to the people Of the State a general
observance of the day in the manner
